Against a backdrop of international intrigue and ruthless drug monopolies, award-winning author Davis Bunn delivers an intoxicating page-turner in this redemptive thriller.
Multi-billion dollar giant Revell Pharmaceuticals is devouring its competition. A new research breakthrough propels the company into releasing its most profitable product ever. Yet a family crisis confronts them when Kirra Revell, heiress to the empire, goes missing.
Taylor Knox, an employee of Revell’s latest acquisition, is blackmailed into leading the search. An expert surfer, Taylor pursues the world’s biggest waves as a cover, only to be ensnared in a deadly contest of corporate espionage.
In the race to find Kirra, everyone’s motives are suspect. A Celtic monk’s warning only heightens the peril. Is it money, power, passion, or something deeper that compels Taylor to risk everything?
From Scotland’s holy islands to the rugged Basque coast of Spain, from boardrooms and luxury yachts to the dungeons of America’s oldest surviving fortress, the hunt is on. Can Taylor Knox achieve his quest before time runs out for Kirra Revell — and for himself?

Summery::
Ive never been truly impressed with Davis Bunn's work (even under the psydoneum of Thomas Locke), but this was honestly one of the worst books I've read in a long time. With cliches and underdeveloped characters, it felt a lot like a Mission: Impossible crossover episode with Murder, She Wrote. And it's obligational add-in of the gospel only seems to make things worse, with a sort of artificial feel to it. There is absolutely no reason to read this novel, even less reason for it to have ever been written in the first place.
Sexual Content::
Taylor is implied to have once been a bit of a womanizer and is said to have sex with a bikini-clad woman in her hotel room. Pictures were taken and the joys of lovemaking are described briefly. Another woman asks him if he wants to come over, her intentions obvious. This woman is one that many of her coworkers creep over. A romance builds. Couples kiss. Talk of prostitution.
Violent Content::
People are shot at and men fight several times. No blood.
Language::
None.
Drug/Alcohol Content::
Some drinking and drug references.
TCR:: 2/5
